Sure, but how do you know if you've connected much stronger with everyone else? I've never left a talk thinking "I really wish that guy swore more." And I personally swear all time. But I abstain from it during presentations because at best it's a cheap technique to get something of a rise from the audience, IME.

I found that if you swear to one 'notch' less than your clients, it helps put them at ease - they're no longer worrying that you might be looking down your nose at the way they're speaking. It means the clients are more likely to pass useful content along because they're not dividing their attention watching their p's and q's.
